Raffaldini Releases first of Four Botanical Wines
Made from Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes and infused with Strawberry and Basil, this botanical sparkling rose is aromatic, refreshing and delicious. Designed in the style made famous by the classic 1950s movie “Roman Holiday” with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, sipping this off-dry bubbly will take you to Italy and a slower pace of life where time is joyously spent with friends and family.
Mark your calendars for the weekend of June 8th when we will pour tastings of our newest effort, the first of four fruit and herbal infused sparkling rose wines. No reservations necessary.

Chianti in the Carolinas Claims 94 points, Platinum at Int'l Winemaker Challenge
Our acclaimed 2022 Sangiovese Classico, honored with the prestigious platinum award, boasting an impressive 94 points and clinching the title of Best Sangiovese in show among entries worldwide at the 2024 Director's Awards at the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition. Crafted with precision and passion, this exceptional vintage captivates with its unparalleled quality and distinct character, promising an unforgettable journey for wine enthusiasts. Stay tuned as we proudly feature this triumph front and center in our upcoming newsletter, inviting you to savor the excellence of our award-winning creation. Cheers to indulging in greatness.
Sangiovese is the grape used to make Chianti and is notoriously difficult to grow in climates that are not arid. Taking care of this grape is a labor of love and our plantings (lead by a clone called Vino Nobile) produces sensual and soft wines with beautiful aromatics and balance. The grapes are also put through the Appassimento drying process to further concentrate their structure. Finally, we use another Italian technique called Ripasso which utilizes grape skins that have been dried for other wines and “repass” the fresh wine over the skins to further deepen the wine. This wine is light and elegant with plenty of fresh red fruit and floral notes.

After nearly two decades of having Raffaldini wines available exclusively at the Villa we have found a wholesale distribution firm that targets wine shops and restaurants rather than mass supermarket, etc. We sought to build connections with independent retailers and restaurateurs so we can still tell our story to the sales outlet and build on the connection that we have with all of you. To begin, we agreed to have two value-based wines (Bella Misto and Bianco) as well as higher end (Vermentino Superiore and Montepulciano Riserva) available for sale.

After nearly two decades of having Raffaldini wines available exclusively at the Villa we have found a wholesale distribution firm that targets wine shops and restaurants rather than mass supermarket, etc. We sought to build connections with independent retailers and restaurateurs so we can still tell our story to the sales outlet and build on the connection that we have with all of you. To begin, we agreed to have two value-based wines (Bella Misto and Bianco) as well as higher end (Vermentino Superiore and Montepulciano Riserva) available for sale.
To locate a store near you, simply go to raffaldini.com then hover your mouse over shop on the header. When the drop down menu appears, click "Find Raffaldini Wines" at the bottom of the list. Once on the Raffaldini Store Locator, you can use the drop down to search by type or location or type in your zip code and search a radius for outlets near you. If you don’t see your favorite wine shop listed please email me directly at jay@raffaldini.com and I will work with our wholesale partner to get them in the store near you.
We have partnered with Tock to provide a reservation system for tastings and flights at the Villa. Our continued goal is to provide the best experience for you, our valued customers and friends. While walk-ins are welcome and a reservation is not required, we believe that making a reservation will enhance your visit.
As a general reminder to all our guests, to provide a safe, relaxing, and intimate experience for our guests, all visitors must be at least 21 years old, except on holidays and specially designated family days when the whole family is welcome and we have children friendly activities available. Please see our calendar for a full list of Family Days.

Meet Monty and Brenda, the dynamic duo behind the lens and beloved members of our wine club community. You may recognize them as the ones always capturing the magic, with cameras dangling from Monty's neck at our events.
Their wine journey spans many years, dating back to 2000 when Monty began crafting dry reds, dry whites, port, and sherry, adding a splash of Christian Brothers Brandy to the latter for an extra kick. While Monty hasn't made wine since 2015, their passion for wine has only deepened.
Their connection with Raffaldini Vineyards goes back to our early days. As some of our very first wine club members in 2008, they've been an integral part of our community. Whether it's attending events or simply relishing a bottle of wine while soaking in the scenic views, Monty and Brenda epitomize the essence of our vineyard experience.
